Besides, if it was a last name, it has to be Hajime, Saitou…or…something…ACK! I'M CONFUSING MYSELF!

Chapter 2: Friendship

After dinner, the woman went into her room and sighed softly. Messing up her hair in frustration and sliding onto the floor, the woman leaned her head on the wall and closed her eyes. 'I must not grow attached to them. If I do, then I cannot bring myself to kill the battousai…I must avoid them…' she thought, then growled angrily at herself, "Stupid! Why do I have to show my emotions on the first day?! Laughing like that…arugh…disgusting." Sitting in that position for awhile, she looked at the ceiling. Slowly, her eyes closed, dreaming old nightmares that she had grown accustomed to.

The woman opened her eyes, the sunlight stinging her eyes. "Blasted sun…" she muttered, rubbing her eyes. Getting up, she walked outside, noticing that it was still VERY early in the morning, decided to wash up and look around. Putting on her shoes, the woman walked out and went to the water pump to wash up.

Shortly, she had finished and walked into the room where Kaoru and Yahiko usually trained. Seeing a sign above some wooden swords, she stopped to read it. "A sword that gives life…" she whispered. Then she smirked. 'He probably went to the nut house after that.' she thought to herself. Continuing to look around, she heard quiet creeping that seemed to walk off to the back of the dojo. Suspicious, the woman followed.

When the woman found the person that was walking around, she scoffed at herself and thought, 'Of course. The battousai is doing laundry.' When she was about to walk away, Kenshin said out loud, "It's a nice day, but I feel like a storm is coming soon. What do you think, miss?" The woman revealed herself from the corner she was hiding at and muttered, "I have no interest in the weather around me. All I care is if I can breathe in the weather."

"Very carefree aren't you?"

"Hn. I do not dwell on trivial matters like the weather."

"Well, what do you care about? Oh, and excuse the personal question."

"It doesn't matter. I care about nothing-"

The woman seemed to hesitate. "Except for one small thing." she said quietly.

Kenshin looked at the woman walk away and smiled to himself. 'She has a decent heart.' he thought.

For the rest of the day, the woman meditated while Yahiko attended to his lessons with Kaoru (occasional yelling could be heard), Kenshin cleaning the floors, and Sanosuke out on errands. Suddenly, a loud crack was heard where Yahiko and Kaoru was. Kenshin and the woman was distracted for a moment, unsure in what they heard. Then Kaoru looked out of the room. "Did you hear that Kenshin?" she asked. He nodded. It was silent for a few seconds. Then there was the crack again. Kenshin got up and looked around cautiously.

The woman however looked straight at the roof, seeing a person sawing at the tiles. She gritted her teeth in hatred. One word crossed her mind as she climbed the roof. 'Harusame.'

Luckily no one noticed the woman jump on the roof and grab the man by the collar shaking him. "What in the hell's world are you doing here?!" she hissed. The man smiled, his black eyes glittering. "I thought you were being slow on the killing process so I decided to kill some of the battousai's close friends and destroying the dojo's roof as well!" The woman shook him hard again.

"Fool!" she snapped, "This is my job. Not yours, Harusame! I kill only the battousai. That is all. There is no need to kill other innocents just to speed the process!"

The man smiled. "Are you growing attached to them, my dear Saeko?"

"No I am not! Now go away before I kill you myself!"

"You know you can't kill me. Without me, I would-"

"Without ME, you would be dead right now!"

That seemed to make Harusame think.

"Get out of my sight. I don't want to see you again for a long time." the woman growled, pushing the man away.

Harusame stumbled ungracefully. Then he smiled at her, tipped an imaginary hat, and ran off the roof, jumping over the gate. The woman tightened her fists, eyes flaming. Then she took deep breaths, the fire in her eyes dimming. Finally she looked down and yelled to Kaoru, "You should fix the roof. It'll crack and collapse on your dojo." The residents of Kaoru's home looked up, surprised to see the woman there. She simply turned around and slid down the roof, disappearing from sight. No one saw her again for the rest of the day.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Where's the woman? I haven't seen her all day." asked Sanosuke, munching on his rice. Kaoru shrugged and wondered, "Me too. I didn't see her again when she told us the roof was about to crack."

Kenshin smiled warmly. "I'm sure she is fine. After what Sano and I saw at the train, she could defend herself very well! That she can!"

Everyone nodded in agreement and cheerfully talked. Suddenly, a kunai zoomed right through the rice paper door, striking the wall that missed Kenshin's head by the inches. The conversation faltered as they looked shocked at the sudden attack. Kenshin calmly wrenched the kunai from the wall and taking off the note that was attached to it. Reading it silently, Kenshin's eyes seemed to get narrower and narrower. Finally he set the note down and smiled at his friends.

"It seems like someone is insisting to meet me. If you'll excuse me…" Kenshin softly said, but Sanosuke and Yahiko got up to stop Kenshin. "You'll have to take us with you." Sanosuke said seriously. Yahiko nodded yelling, "We're the Kenshin-Gumi remember?"

Kenshin smiled, "I guess I really don't have a choice in that matter-" "No you don't!" interrupted Kaoru, "Besides, we have to make sure you won't die on us!" Everyone laughed and followed Kenshin out of the dojo.
